2025/26 James Garner

He played really well tonight but so have Wharton and Anderson when they've been given their chances. I think he's vying for a spot in the squad against those two and he's better than them both in CM, but he also plays several other positions, which I'm not sure those others do. Applied himself very well tonight and didn't do his chances any harm.
 
Wasn't played to his strengths. You cant play him that high up the pitch. Thought he did 'ok' and nothing more than that.

If England had played Spain tonight and they had to get behind the ball, keep shape, deny space and try and turn the ball over and do something with it - that's the type of game Garner would thrive in.

Tuchel should take him to America for the Crusaders because there will be games against certain opposition when a Garner-type will be a necessity.
 
Really don't get the Henderson selection but then I don't get the Burn selection either.

Mainoo has played pretty well for United since Carrick reintroduced him but the standout 4 players for the two orthodox central midfield positions are...

Rice
Anderson
Garner
Wharton

If Henderson is selected ahead of any of them then it will be most disappointing really as he's so far behind them at this point in his career.
